Subject: RE: Pre Getaway gathering in Maine From: jacqui.c Date: 25 Sep 13 - 01:47 PM Jeri - there will only be four of us traveling to Maryland and I think that Terry may have car space for luggage in his hire car. Claire won't be heading back our way so we will have more luggage space coming back. You could come up for Wednesday night, stay over until Friday morning. |

Subject: RE: Pre Getaway gathering in Maine From: ClaireBear Date: 25 Sep 13 - 01:22 PM Wednesday, Jeri -- the gathering's Wednesday. You'd have a whole day off in between! |
|
Subject: RE: Pre Getaway gathering in Maine From: Jeri Date: 25 Sep 13 - 12:32 PM I considered it, but driving up there Thursday and coming back home, then driving back up to wherever to meet Kendall & Jacqui is a bit much bouncing around. Then again, if there are really going to be 5 people and our stuff in one car, maybe I ought to give up the idea of the Getaway and just go up on Thursday. |

Subject: RE: Pre Getaway gathering in Maine From: kendall Date: 25 Sep 13 - 12:24 PM Lately I'm in constant pain, not looking forward to this trip. |

Subject: RE: Pre Getaway gathering in Maine From: SINSULL Date: 25 Sep 13 - 09:31 AM We always do the trip in one dy and it is a bitch. Two is a breeze. LOL Come, Joe. We will break out the air mattresses and put up any who can manage to sleep on them. SINS |

Subject: RE: Pre Getaway gathering in Maine From: jacqui.c Date: 25 Sep 13 - 07:26 AM Joe - we're doing the whole trip in one day - no problem. Come visit and we'll take you to see Portland Head Light! |

Subject: RE: Pre Getaway gathering in Maine From: SussexCarole Date: 25 Sep 13 - 03:10 AM Leaving home later today - flying tomorrow. So looking forward to seeing you all again. |

Subject: RE: Pre Getaway gathering in Maine From: Joe Offer Date: 25 Sep 13 - 12:05 AM Gee, this is all so confusing. I was supposed to go to the Getaway via Dani's house in North Carolina, but instead I'm flying to Connecticut because my sister declared a family reunion. I arrive in CT Thursday and plan to wander south to Annapolis over the week. It's tempting to re-route through Maine, but I think I'll resist the temptation. Driving from Maine to Annapolis in two days, sounds horrible. Have a nice gathering. -Joe- |

Subject: RE: Pre Getaway gathering in Maine From: ChanteyLass Date: 24 Sep 13 - 09:05 PM Oh, Linn, keep us informed on what the doctors advise for Tom and what decisions he makes. Sending love and hugs to you both. |

Subject: RE: Pre Getaway gathering in Maine From: Bat Goddess Date: 24 Sep 13 - 07:09 PM Carl, I'll email you with directions. Those "harps", by the way, are the mouth variety. Carl, this is a fantastic bunch of people and it will be truly amazing to have them all in the same room. And they are why you need to pay more attention to Mudcat. I was actually just checking in to say that next week -- despite the PMFF being over -- is starting to get even crazier for us, with medical appointments, alas. But I think we need to try to make it -- a two hour drive is worth it, and we haven't seen you in South Portland (not to mention ClaireBear and Leadfingers) for way too long. Tom has a total blockage of the arteries in his left leg. That's why wounds won't heal. His vascular doc has been gathering enough information (all these tests) to see whether he can stent the artery -- or even, if necessary, do a bypass from the right leg. He's consulting with Tom's cardiologist who, thank goodness, is extremely conservative and cautious. I trust him completely. What they have to ascertain is if the benefit from this (for Tom) very risky procedure would be of enough benefit to be worth the risk. Tom is NOT a great candidate for surgery of any kind. It COULD kill him, but I don't think Tom's cardiologist will go for it if he thinks it's too risky. And the anesthesiologist has to weigh in as well. It's complicated... Anyway, we will try our damnedest to make it. Linn |

Subject: RE: Pre Getaway gathering in Maine From: GUEST,SINSULL Date: 24 Sep 13 - 06:37 PM Join us,Carl. My house is just South of Portland across the Casco Bay Bridge. Linn can give you directions. Mary SINS |

Subject: RE: Pre Getaway gathering in Maine From: GUEST,Guest - Carl Ellis Date: 24 Sep 13 - 05:19 PM The younger boy & I will be doing the Fryeburg Fair all week - is this anywhere near there, and could I come even if the only person I see here who knows me is the Bat Goddess? We will be hitting the Press Room day after tomorrow on our way over from VT, so if Bat Goddess is there she could tip me whether this is a sort of private get-together, & if not, how I might get there.

Subject: RE: Pre Getaway gathering in Maine From: ClaireBear Date: 24 Sep 13 - 12:04 PM I hadn't heard about this gathering until Micca mentioned it last night, but I would be ever so pleased to come. Thank you! It will be wonderful to see you. Claire |

Subject: RE: Pre Getaway gathering in Maine From: Bat Goddess Date: 24 Sep 13 - 11:13 AM Part of getting old I guess. More like part of getting blind, Kendall. And Tom doesn't walk that well either. Linn |
|
Subject: RE: Pre Getaway gathering in Maine From: GUEST,kendall Date: 23 Sep 13 - 08:39 AM I plan to drink and carouse until well past my bed time...9 pm. |
|
Subject: RE: Pre Getaway gathering in Maine From: SINSULL Date: 23 Sep 13 - 08:29 AM No Getaway for me, Nancy. So Pre-Getaway party will be extra fun. Too bad, Charmion. It would have been good to see you and Edmund. Linn and Tom, I expect to be making an early night of it as well - work (SIGH) See you all on Wednesday. SINS |
|
Subject: RE: Pre Getaway gathering in Maine From: SussexCarole Date: 22 Sep 13 - 12:28 PM So looking forward to this - thanks SINS x |

Subject: RE: Pre Getaway gathering in Maine From: Charmion Date: 22 Sep 13 - 11:37 AM We would love to come, but we can't leave Ottawa until mid-afternoon on Thursday at the earliest. Edmund is busy with a trial until Wednesday, and I have a most unusual engagement of my own -- I'm getting a medal, of all things, and the presentation is on Thursday at one o'clock. |
|
Subject: RE: Pre Getaway gathering in Maine From: GUEST,kendall Date: 22 Sep 13 - 09:24 AM I know exactly how Tom feels; I can't sleep worth a damn in a strange bed. Part of getting old I guess. |
|
Subject: RE: Pre Getaway gathering in Maine From: Bat Goddess Date: 21 Sep 13 - 08:44 PM Tom and I will try to make it, but we won't be able to stay too long, as Tom needs to sleep in his own bed. But we'd REALLY like to see everyone! Linn |
|
Subject: RE: Pre Getaway gathering in Maine From: Leadfingers Date: 21 Sep 13 - 05:59 PM I'm looking forward to this one |
|
Subject: RE: Pre Getaway gathering in Maine From: ranger1 Date: 21 Sep 13 - 01:32 PM I'll be there, but I'll have to make an early night of it, leaving for Tinker's first thing the next morning. |
|
Subject: RE: Pre Getaway gathering in Maine From: Nancy King Date: 21 Sep 13 - 12:53 PM Sounds like great fun! Wish I could be there, but I'll just have gotten back to Maryland after a month in Maine. I expect I'll be doing laundry... Anyhow, have a good time, and see you later that week! (Are you coming to the Getaway, Mary?) |

Subject: Pre Getaway gathering in Maine From: GUEST,SINSULL Date: 21 Sep 13 - 12:40 PM A number of Catters "from away" are gathering in Southern Maine so we thought it might be fun to get everyone together for a night of music and reunions. Leadfingers, Carole and Andrew will be at my place. Claire is with Kendall and Jacqui. I thought that Charmion and Edmund might stop over but I haven't heard from them. Anyway, it looks to be Wednesday October 2 about 7PM. Beer and light refreshments.I have to work the next day (not likely, I think) so you may be on your own to the wee hours. Who's in? SINS |
